Falling Hard

Oh, show. What are you doing to us, show? Remember wayyyy back this summer when that little rumor that Gillian Anderson’s DSI Gibson and Archie Panjabi’s Dr. Reed Smith would have a “sexual encounter” on the new season of “The Fall.” Then the good doctor checks out Stella’s nail length in the premiere, a clear sign of lesbian flirting. And now this new promo image from episode 3 has set those rumors on fire. As in, oh hey look, there’s a fire in my pants. Gosh, those two look awfully cozy. Someone tell me their shipper name immediately, if not sooner.

This cheeky reply from Gillian about the possibility of Stella’s bisexuality doesn’t hurt either.

Right, sorry, regain composure. Act like an adult. Be professional. They’re probably just discussing very serious and important police-related matters. In each other’s pants.

Whoops, sorry. Slipped up again. On a related note, I’d like it ever so much if you took the time to check out my recaps of “The Fall” over at AfterEllen. The first one posted yesterday and you can expect them Mondays throughout the season. I know, I know – tough gig staring at Gillian Anderson’s face for hours on end.

I'm not convenced that she will turn out to be bi. I think this might be a case of "bait and switch" with this show. They are making us think one thing but it will turn out to be something else. I hope I'm wrong.

when i watched it last week (less than legally), I mused at how very purposeful she is - she moves, not slowly but purposefully, She speaks purposefully - she doesn't waste movements or words - it's spare and concentrated. I wished I could do that - but then, I don't really know anyone in real life like that - would it seem weird in real life? But I feel like if I tried to be more like her, i'd feel less like a spaz and maybe be taken more seriously.
